Lightning storm tonight over Tucson dropped a lot of rain around town. This image was taken on the University of Arizona campus and shows Old Main appearing to get hit by lightning. In reality, the lighting was in the distance behind the building.
English electric Lightning F6 XR728, of the LPG, performs a take off run at Bruntingthorpe's Cold War Jets Day.
I stepped out my back door to take some photos of lightning. This picture doesn't have a lightning bolt but I'm pretty sure I got a Perseid meteor. It's the only star with a tail.
I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.
Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...
Got me a picture of lightning!
hundreds of lightning strikes were recorded right after dark, but no new forest fires resulted, apparently the lightning stayed in the clouds!
Lightnings are so cool! It reminds us, that whatever we do, it is nothing compared to force of nature. To capture one in the frame, that's always a lot of fun. I like the purple light that comes with it.
With the naked eye this seemed like a single flash with reflection and resonance from all points of the compass. The camera tells a quite different story — of complexity and multiplicity. The village at left is Palm Beach with Tallebudgera Creek and Big Burleigh (Jellurgal). The earth bolt hits the Pacific Ocean a few kilometres west of the Queensland Gold Coast. The hazy brightness top right is a cloud to cloud strike within or behind the cloud layer. The dark foreground is the bush on the Gold Coast hinterland. This was an eight second exposure and a small section of sky, just part of a storm which lasted about two hours affecting a huge area of southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Large and longer thunder storm over Makati city, but the 2 cranes opposite just carried on working working throughout, I would not like to be the operator on one of those.
Watching from the beach as a severe storm passed to the north of us throwing out huge bolts of lightning. This was one of many beautiful bolts I captured.
Wasn't an epic storm but it was moisture and we were thankful for the rain. We were also thankful that the lightning didn't start any fires. I love a good thunderstorm. I love to hear the rumble of the thunder as the lightning lights up the sky. I would prefer those storms happen in the late evening or dark hours as they are easier to photograph but this year, nobody could complain, no matter what time the storms came.

Last night we had some lightning storms come through our area. I was not prepared as much as I wish I was as we were busy running around getting things done. I came home and when I jumped out of the shower I was amazed at the amount of lightning we were having. i wish this was a little sharper of an image.
Lightning to the north of my neighbor's house.
NOTE: No photographers were injured in the making of this photo.
Crawler Lightning Over Central Texas, April 26, 2023.
Anvil crawler lightning, sometimes called spider lightning, is created when leaders propagate through horizontally-extensive charge regions in mature thunderstorms, usually the stratiform regions of mesoscale convective systems.
Stacked 19 lightning images from last night's storm. Individual frames were taken from Fujifilm X-T3 with settings noted at right.
This storm had mostly in-cloud lightning. These were the best 4 frames with cloud to ground lightning.
I found this lightning bug on our box elder shrub. I captured several images of it and as I was about to end my photo session, he opened his wings to fly away. This is the last shot of my encounter with this interesting little creature!
Trying my hand at storm chasing. Not sure how to do it. So I took about a half hour of video and sifted through it to find the only lightning strike frame. In 4K video, the camera shoots motion JPEG, so grabbing a frame is easy enough.
